Have you ever fallen behind on your taxes? For most wage earners, taxes are something that they deal with sometime between January 1st and April 15th every year, they usually pay a little or get a little money back and then forget about them until the next year. For the self-employed and for business owners, taxes are a whole different beast. Saving money for estimated payments, dealing with payroll taxes, sales tax, and all of the other taxes we have a duty to pay is an everyday concern. Have you ever fallen a little short one month and not made those payments?

Two important types of returns taxed to the employers are the Employer's Quarterly federal tax return and employer's annual federal tax returns. These two taxes are also termed as 941 taxes and 944 taxes respectively. For the return filed under the form 941 if your tax liability of employer's tax is lesser than or equal to $2,500 then these taxes can be filed along with your returns. However if the amount is above $2,500 then you must file these taxes along with the 941 form periodically according to your deposit schedule which can be monthly or semi-weekly or other such terms.

The tax is one thing that everybody hates to pay, no matter how small the amount may be. People tend to not pay the tax and often live in a constant fear of IRS getting to know about it. If one has not paid his taxes and is thinking what would happen, then he must remember one thing clearly and that is that IRS can really retaliate. Also, be sure that it would hit where it hurts the most.
